Where Steak Meet Scotch

11.07.16

Who knew that one of the best steakhouses in Orange County is just around the corner from the Art Institute of Orange County on Harbor Boulevard in Santa Ana?

The Scotchery, formerly known as 8 Steers, has been transformed thanks to its dedicated owner and self-described Scotch and great food enthusiast, Connie Ho who perfectly created her vision of a classic steakhouse. Even the most seasoned Scotch enthusiast will be impressed with The Scotchery’s dedicated Scotch bar offering a wide array of smokey sips before and after your delicious meal.

The menu is outstanding thanks to executive chef Matthew Solomon whose impressive background includes cooking with Chef Wolfgang Puck at Spago and Chef Emeril’s Lagasse at Delmonico. He’s also worked at some of the best steakhouses including Mastro’s Costa Mesa, Mastro’s Thousand Oaks, Ocean Club Newport Beach and Ocean Prime in Beverly Hills and a position with their Boston location’s opening team.

Chef Soloman serves his signature housemade sauces and sides alongside USDA Prime Aged Beef, fresh Alaskan halibut, and farm fresh greens in all dishes. He also creates dishes to pair perfectly with the different styles of scotches and other beverages from the bar.

Signature dishes and our favorites include the Kurobuta Pork Belly with marinated red onion and fig jam; Crab Cakes with fresh summer corn relish, chive aioli and chili oil; Five Onion Soup with caramelized onions, grilled crostini and aged white cheddar; the Lobster Salad on arugula with walnuts, cranberries and a cranberry vinaigrette. The Tomahawk is a must! It’s a 40 OZ USDA Prime Tomahawk Steak with broccolli rabe; and the Snake River Farm Kurobuta Pork Chop with sweet apple, horseradish slaw and pork demi is outstanding.

We also recommend the Seared Fresh Alaskan Halibut: crab cake hash, parsnip puree and garlic herb butter; and the Pan Seared Scallops: cilantro risotto, chile lime beurre blanc and soy lime slaw.

Open for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; and dinner 5 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 5 to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Closed Sundays.

3751 S. Harbor Blvd in Santa Ana. 714.557.2987.
